In the Indian tradition, Shiva, the Adiyogi has many forms, each of which represents a powerful possibility for inner evolution. Yogeshwaraya – meaning the lord of Yoga.
In the yogic tradition, Shiva is not worshiped as a God. He is the Adiyogi, the first Yogi, and Adi Guru, the First Guru from whom the yogic sciences originated. Guru Purnima is celebrated as the day when Adiyogi began the transmission of these sciences to the Saptarishis, his first seven disciples. So this Guru purnima, this is our musical garland. An offering of different renditions of the Yogeshwaraya chant to the Adiyogi.
Lyrics and Meaning:
Yogeshwaraya Mahadevaya
The Lord of Yoga, the great one
Trayambakaya Tripurantakaya
Three-eyed one, destroyer of the Tripura
Trikagni Kalaya Kalagni Rudraya
He who like fire, devours the past, present and future within himself
Neelakantaya Mrityunjayaya
Blue-throated one, who has conquered death
Sarveshwaraya Sadashivaya
Lord of everything, the eternal one
Mahadevaya Namaha
Oh great one, we bow down to you
